Australian Made

In recent years we have seen the fall of many Australian businesses and the decline of industries such as the fruit and car industries. This is not just due to droughts and high fuel costs, but largely due to the amount of opposition from products that are imported from other countries. Consumers choosing products on price rather than the country of origin are having major effects on our economy, beginning with the employer to the employee and to the related businesses. We are not only losing Australian owned businesses to foreign investment, but our unemployment rates increase and the market for our Australian “brand” is declining. This is why it is imperative that all Australian consumers support Australian businesses at every opportunity. The profits made by these businesses are generally used to improve the business, employ more staff, improve working conditions or used to support other aspects of the Australian economy. These benefits help us all, so it is up to us to ensure we can maximise these benefits by buying Australian products. Why are we, as Australians, accepting inferior products when we can buy Australian products and be assured that they are of a high quality? Any food product grown in Australia is subject to the strictest of regulations due to the food standards code. All products are free of disease and chemical and biological contaminants guaranteeing safety to consumers. Our products are also regarded as being of the highest quality by countries such as Japan, Korea, Singapore, the US and much of Europe, which Australia has consistently exported agricultural products to for many years. It's clear that a high quality product produced in Australia should be the first choice, especially when compared with a similar product of a lower quality from a foreign nation. Unlike other countries, the quality of Australian products can be certified. Australia has the most advanced national livestock identification system of any nation on earth,
